American Idol: Nicki Minaj To Be Named New Judge (Report)

It looks like Mariah Carey may finally have some company at the “American Idol” judges’ table.

As has been widely rumored, Nicki Minaj will soon be announced as a new judge on the FOX reality series, multiple sources have reportedly told Us Weekly.

Despite no official confirmation from “Idol” or FOX, one source said the outlandish “Super Bass” singer is “100% confirmed” while another told the mag Nicki is “definitely doing it.”

In addition, a source who spoke on condition of anonymity told the Associated Press that a deal between Nicki and “Idol” was in the works.

Reps for FOX and Nicki were not immediately available for comment on the report when contacted by Access Hollywood on Monday.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Mariah Carey was officially announced as a new “Idol” judge in July, during the FOX presentation at the Television Critics Association summer tour in Beverly Hills.
